Sorry, but I need to tell ya this!!
I've had a sore bum hole for over a week! BUT!!!!!
I can't see anything! Neither could Dr. Bassi last Monday!
There's no hemmie, or redness, no blood or pus, no fissure, no cracks, it just constantly aches! It feels higher up??
Especially sitting, that hurts like billio!!
Anyway, I found this when I googled sore bum hole!!
The pain of levator ani syndrome is a constant or frequently occurring dull pain that is felt higher up inside the rectal passage. The sensation is made worse by sitting and improves with walking or standing. The pain usually lasts approximately 20 minutes and tends to reoccur at regular intervals.
WEIRD! HEY?
have you ever heard of this? It goes on to say -
A digital rectal exam is needed to make the diagnosis of levator ani syndrome. During the exam, the doctor can feel the levator ani muscles. The muscles may feel tight, and touching them can reproduce the pain
Levator ani syndrome: The patient can help stop an attack of levator ani syndrome with the following techniques.
Sit in a tub of hot water.
Massage the levator ani muscles to relieve the muscle spasm.
Take over-the-counter, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen. OH NO!!!
HEY! but a hot bath really works!!
Next Steps
Prevention
The best way to prevent rectal pain is to eat a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water. This will produce soft stools that are easy to pass and result in less trauma to the anal passage.
So there ya go! another thing to worry about for us Crohnies, hey!
stay well my friends

And anyway as long as it still fires properly it'll be okay, just shake/release it a fews times somewhere out the way to make sure it's working before puffing it properly/inhaling.
